I really enjoyed this amazing conversation with John Hammond who wrote the amazing book The Shaman’s Mind which unlocks many Huna secrets from his experiences in Hawaii.
To learn to think like a shaman is to attune yourself to a magical spectrum of infinite possibilities, unseen truths, alternative realities, and spiritual support. When a shaman likes what’s happening, they know how to make it better, and when they don’t, they know how to change it.
